So since nobody can tell me how to get past this DARN movie sequence, can someone maybe PLAY past it?

The attached file is the zipped memcard with the savegame, unfortunately you still have to run into town talk to some children and the captain in the southern part of town and then go through the two video sequences.
Surely takes about... well 3mins or so


The save is from the german version of Star Ocean 2, but it probably will also work with the english (or whatever) version.


Hope someone still has this game.

Thanks

there is a german version of that game, hope they didn't make a bad translation like they did with steiner in ff9....bavarian language

 

[Rubicant]

No, no it is in fact quite good

i was surprised.


Although they didn't translate speech, it fits surprisingly well into the atmosphere

The german make very good translations of games also have good voice actors for the games , wish dosn't happen to the potuguese games !

 

[Rubicant]

Unfortunately many of the translated games are translated by foreigners who speak german perfectly -- but not naturally...

So some phrases which are generally correct,just don't sound good.

The worst example for this is the Final Fantasy 7 Translation.

It totally sucks...

:-(

I myself prefer playing the original versions.

Yea but you have to love snk english. Its kind of like a bad godzilla movie. Those guys smoke too much crack.

Well, I think here in Brazil, we have some of the bests actors for translating movies in the world, but for games, the ones we have suck big time...
At least, we still have the number one on tennis!

 

[Rubicant]

It entirely depends if the game company hires professional actors-
then the translation quality is very good.

The only other good translation i found so far is the one deJap did on Final Fantasy IV
(its the best, far better than the one Square made for the psx).

So i Guess you either take professionals or people who REALLY are insiders and addicted to this style of game/story.


Oh... and maybe... to get back tro trhe topic..

Could anyone play over this stupid movie yet?
I really want to go on playing.

Star Ocean 2

Yeah, I have a problem in this game about the same area where the movie is supposed to come in but the screen just goes blank and nothing happens
Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Rubicant]

I heared more people complain about this...

...but is there a solution or not?

And IF why the hell does nobody tell me?

*g*

Oh well... 3 days waiting to play on... guess this gets on my nerves...

 

[Schädelkeks]

try to disable the movie with epsxecutor

 

[Rubicant]

I tried ...

but it didn`t work.... that`s why i wanted someone to play over the scene...


I don`t know why, but disabling the movies didn`t help the slightest...

 

[Zell]

It eem taht you don't have a choice .

 

[leiche]

got the same problem, safed the game 10 sec before the movie.
found something on another site, it said to disable Mdecs, but i haven´t got that option in the display menu.
another way would be to play this movie part with fpse, but that emulator won´t work with me.

that´s the file, someone know´s what to do with that mdecs thing?

whenever i get stuck i try other emulators to get by the trouble point.

try fpse to get by the scene, save your game and then load it back up in epsxe.

It was J2E who did it, not Dejap. And yes, it's one of the best translations I've ever seen.

and i thought i mentioned that fpse ain´t working with me,
it´s just producing bluescreens like hell. :*(

found and tried something called adripsx, but i couldn´t find no gamepad plugin for that thing

You can try to disable mdecs on the command line.
Start ePSXe like this:
Click on Start, then Run, in the open box type the path to ePSXe like this->c:\games\epsxe.exe -nomdecs (change to the appropriate path, but don't forget the -nomdecs switch)
or you can try disabling MDEC Timing, the switch is -nomdectiming or try both

 

[leiche]

thx fou-lu, but didn´t work at all.
tried both alone and together, -nomdec and -nomdectiming as well

 

[73?]

Yeah, I have the same problem, nothing seems to work, even if you disable the mdec's
